The USB Jump Drives Are The Easiest Most Compact Plug And
Play Drives

One of my favorite things to come
along recently are USB jump drives. It has
made it super easy to do a backup, or bring files I need to work on
somebody's computer.

The USB flash drive is a great way of bringing any files from
any computer to any other computer without making any waste.
With
the capacity they are coming out with now, it is also a very practical
to get. If you don't have a backup of your computer, or if
you are just now starting to build a computer, get a USB flash drive.

Using USB Jump Drives

Using a portable drive is really easy. Simply attach
the
drive to a USB port anywhere on the computer. Close to the
clock on the bottom of the computer Windows will pop up a dialog
telling you it is installing the software for your new hardware.
Give this a minute to finish.

Once your new drive is installed, it is just a matter of plugging the
drive into the computer and it will be available for use.

TIP! To
find the new drive if you don't get a pop up from Windows.
Simply open up my computer. You should see your new
drive in the list.

Open up your drive and use it however you like, copy and paste files
onto it, or if you like right click on a bunch of files and use the
send to option under the right click menu. Drag and drop will
work as well, whatever Windows method you prefer.

Removing The Drive

To safely remove the drive, make sure you click on the icon beside the
clock and select safely remove hardware. Select the device
from the list before you unplug it.

I do not do the safely remove as specified above. I just make
sure nothing is reading or writing to the drive. Although I
have never had a problem doing this, if you want to make certain your
information is safe, follow the safely remove hardware procedure.
